Are you saying that the whole trip to D.C. took about 50 hours? To me, a protest is very different from actually helping the community, so no, I would not, under any circumstances, consider that community service. You definitely cannot count the entire duration of the trip, anyway.
Have you volunteered a significant number of hours with a particular organization? If so, I would report that separately. If you are just reporting your amount of assorted community service hours, I guess just throw it all together. Do not report service you performed prior to high school, though.
Unless you have been involved with one specific organization, I don’t think 100 random assorted community service hours will matter much anyway, so it’s probably nothing to stress out over.
